Raptor-272 (Aquila nipalensis, Neophron percnopterus)

One who tolerated
the presence and
activity of the smaller
birds, so well ...

Going by the
expression ... and
that determined look ...

The Steppe seems to
be telling the matching
sized Egyptian to just
push off ... to put it
mildly ... though his
choice of words could
be more colloquial ...
